being short is always a pain?

Question

You may think that 5'2 isn't too bad a height but i still struggle in life nothing gets any easier for me.I find shopping for clothes very hard and doing my weekly shopping.The goods are all stacked too high and the trolley is a pain to get things out of as it is too deep.I usually have to stand on the wheel of the trolley and stretch inside to get the goods at the bottom of the trolley. Sometimes i have to look for someone to reach for things for me. The kitchen shelves are a pain as they should be made slightly lower. I have had an ex boyfriend who was 6'5 that was a joke i used to have people laughing like mad at me.When we tried to kiss and cuddle he was always lifting me upwards. When it was time to leave when we kissed goodbye i had to make sure i was about 5 inches off the ground.I then married a guy who was 5'7 that wasnt too bad in height difference.Now he is my ex husband and i get along better with short guys.

Answer 1

yeh it is tough being petite.

its good that some retail shops have petite sections and now bringing size 4 into their shops.

its not embarrssing to ask for help when u cant reach something.
i always ask for help in shops, even to a customer who is next to me. everyone always passed it down to me. and always willing to pass something if you ask. its not embarrsing at all.

My husband is 5"7 so he is perfect size for me i suppse. wish he was taller!!
cheer up gyal. its not that bad. there are loads of girls who are smaller than you.
am 5 foot only.

Answer 2

Try being a female and hitting 6' when you're only 13. I'd KILL to be 5'2!!!!

My entire life has been a pain in the @ss. Men seem to never be taller than me, and if they are, I only found the jerks. I always got asked if I played basketball and finally resorted to "no motherf*cker I hate basketball!"

I was the first to always get asked to reach things up high, the first to be spotted in class photos, etc. I hated it. Oh, and plane rides? OMFG they're completely and utterly suicide for me! I've also had arthritis since I was 14 years old because of my height. So for almost the last 10 years (I'll be 23 next month) I've never gone a day without being in pain. My knees sound like creaking dungeon doors when I walk upstairs or downstairs or bend my knees.

I'm now 22 and still 6' tall. It's damn impossible to find pants that look good and actually fit. My husband is only 6'1 so I can't ever dress up in a nice pair of high heels or I'd be taller than him... he doesn't mind but I do. So I get to see all of these beautiful women in these beautiful gowns, wearing these beautiful heels... and I'm stuck in boring flats. In case you didn't know, finding beautiful flats is nearly impossible. You get them black, brown and white. Ooooh so gorgeous, yeah no!

On the upside, I've learned to walk with pride, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to be shorter.

I'll gladly trade with you! :-)

Answer 3

ok here is the thing, i am 5 foot 7 and VERY skinny, and i am only 14, like people think that i am anorexic skinny. and that is so hard to even find clothes to fit me. you may have troubles getting to the clothes, but i have 2 pairs of jeans and they are starting to get too small. it sucks and my boyfriend is lie 5 ft 2 and that REALLY sucks. every day of my life i have wished that i was shorter, because all of my friends are shorter than me=[ so be happy that you have clothes that fit you and people dont call you tall freak or anything like that

Answer 4

I'm short (4ft 10)
I used it.
"Oh I can't quite reach that can you help me" when spoken to a handsome man I found frequently very effective.
My husband was 6ft 2 . People laughed But I did not care because I knew that SEX was fascinating. Work out the different positions.
Dancing was great because he could literally whirl me round the dance floor.
Clothes are a problem

Answer 5

well look at it this way your pants will never flood and people in the store wont be like miss can you get that for me. I guess either way you look at it tall people want to be shorter and short people want to be taller. i dont like being taller than most people and im almost 5'8. im married to someone who is 5'7 and he has to stand on something in our pictures or the picture will look retarded because itll show me taller than him. at least they can put there arm around you instead of the opposite. and i always think its more lady like to be shorter instead of extremely tall. id rather look up at people instead of down at people.

Answer 6

hey im just 5 feet tall .. n i dont feel bad about it. wear high heeled shoes if u find ur height that annoying. also focus on ur best features instead of cribbibg abt ur heigh. it cant be changed now.
